Helluva coin, the Draped Bust Dollar market has been on a heater lately. Very difficult to secure the nice collector grade coins like this. Centered, hammer strike, distraction free fields, and a charming circ cameo look with original surfaces? The only real problem with this coin...is that it's not mine!
Congrats!

@ALaura22 - Mike, That’s a super attractive well-struck, centered Bust Dollar with nice original crusty surfaces! 😎👍
It’s got a lot of meat left on it for an XF-40! 😉
Thanks for sharing the photos with us! 😃

Nice strong strike. Love seeing coins pre 1800.

✓ Everyman Mint State Carson City Morgan Dollars (1878 – 1893)
✓ Everyman Mint State Lincoln Cents (1909 – 1958)
✓ Morgan Dollar GSA Hoard (1878 – 1891)
Both coins above appear to be original, nicely struck, problem free coins. Always a joy to see early dollars like these. Thanks for sharing.
